Right that's it! No more attacks on Karius. Full stop all of you. De Gea - 'best goalie in world' just let in a clanger every bit as bad.

Even the best make mistakes. Five Karius the 24 year old a break. Paying £80m does not guarantee no errors. Get over it.

Karius will watch that and feel a foot taller I bet.

Exactly right!
I have been saying this from the day after the final, if he works on his concentration and distribution we could have a top keeper in Karius.
True supporters get behind whoever wears the famous shirt.

De Gea has made one error, Karius has made a fair few. It's hardly comparable.

Karius isn't currently good enough he made errors before cHamps league final and but for poor refereeing we may not have got past man city or roma due to karius errors.

Am do you not remember degea when he first joined. He was absolutely awful in every department and all fans were calling him for to burn.

As said above real fans will get behind whoever pull on a shirt.

As long as he learns from his mistakes, and let's face it he had to a degree when given back the No1 spot, he will turn out to be a top class keeper.

Plus, Klopp doesn't get too much wrong with his recruitment.

Have faith my friend all will be good.

I will support whoever puts on the Liverpool shirt but if we have the opportunity to buy someone better, I am all for it.

Amrit, that is not the point and you either missed it completely or you conveniently avoided it. The point is NOT about DDG making one error (which is false cos he made at least 5 that I counted last season) . It is about people who think or act like footie is an exact science and that a top GK will NEVER make mistakes. They were the same experts telling us that had we had a top GK in the CL final, the errors don't EVER happen. Well, that has always been disproven and it just happened a gain. DDG, the best GK in world football, pulled a Rob Green or even worse. DDG's mistake should be a lesson for them to stop talking trash about Karius and give it a rest cos clearly, he is human, just like DDG.

If you guys think that Karius is good enough and are comfortable with him between the sticks next season, that's great. I think he, just like Mignolet is an error waiting to happen. For me, the most important purchase this season would be a top quality keeper, but if that doesn't happen then of course I will support Karius.

If you are telling me that Karius is even close to De Gea in terms of ability then I am not sure what to say. These players are human and of course they will make mistakes. The difference is, the best of the best, are far more reliable.

Karius hasn’t been excellent for multiple seasons and De Gea made 1 mistake not 2.

Multiple seasons cobra he got a few games at the beginning of last season and the second of of this season don't be silly lad it's clouded judgements like this that a really silly let the lad have a full season before judging him.

Multiple seasons when did he sign ha ha ha ha you really have got me in stitches lad.

Amrit, again you are arguing with yourself on the "Karius is or could be a WC GK" cos I'm not arguing that with you neither did I mention it in my posts. We are simply having a laugh at those that say a top class GK would not have made the mistakes Karius made in a big game. Well, DDG just debunked that nonsense, royally today by making two blinding errors, to cost Spain the points. That is it. This does not mean DDG is worse than Karius or that Karius will become a top GK cos DDG made mistakes like he did. Separate but NO equal, my friend.

Im pretty sure that anyone who is lobbying for a top class goalkeeper isn't doing it with the statement i want a better goalkeeper because they don't make mistakes.

Karius may very well become a decent keeper but its going to take 2 to 3 more seasons for him to get there. He will never be world class though. No where near it.

Liverpool don't have the luxury of having a project between the sticks. The blood is in the water and what liverpool do over the next 2 to 3 seasons could at the very least establish them as the nailed on number 2 club in england going foward.

Ive read quite a few posts on here the last week saying how karius is a good sweeper keeper and he should get another chance because there aren't to many out there.

Karius is not a sweeper keeper. He is just a keeper that rushes off his line. There is a massive difference. Despite what some people are saying he isn't that great with his feet either. A good sweeper keeper has excellent timing and poise and can ping balls about comfortably.

Liverpool don't need a sweeper keeper they need a keeper who takes charge and commands his area by taking no prisoners. Someone who barks orders and pushes you out if your sitting too deep. Liverpool like to draw in and strike. A sweeper keeper is not needed for that playstyle.

Liverpool need a keeper that when you watch him play he looks like he was born to do it.

One thing i did notice about karius last season is that he started to come and get something on crosses and corners. It was an improvement on what he was doing before. So he clearly is trying to learn. If he would practise on pusing shots he can't catch to the side too then it would be a big improvement.

If he started next season as number 1 i will be all behind him but if a top class keeper becomes availiable and the budget allows it be it this season or next it would only be logical to pursue it.

Btw anyone who is blaming karius for losing the champions league final are dead wrong. The first mistake was cancelled out and the second one didn't matter cause was madrid went 2-1 up there was only one winner. The quality of depth in liveroools squad cost them more. Salah off and lallana on in a right foward position eridicated any fear madrid had early on and that was all she wrote.
